Workshop Of Guido Durandino (? – ?)
Workshop of Guido Durandino (active 1516-1576) was a leading producer of Renaissance maiolica in Urbino, Italy. Known for intricate istoriato designs depicting mythology and history, their ceramics were highly sought after by European nobility.
Palazzo Madama (Turin, Italy)
Explore Palazzo Madama, Turin! Journey through centuries of Italian history within its stunning architecture – from Roman roots to royal residence & the birthplace of Italy's senate.
A significant role in the history of Renaissance ceramics was played by the Marche, where the most important production centres were located along the Metauro river, from Casteldurante (now Urbania) and Urbino. First in Gubbio and Casteldurante, and then in Urbino, from the 1510s the so-called “historiated” decorative repertoire, with the painting of stories generally taken from famous engravings, became established. This flask, from the Urbino workshop of Guido Durandino, which received many prestigious commissions, is part of a service made for the constable of France, Anne de Montmorency (1492-1567).
